WAP581 connection issue

Just got a brand new WAP581 and I have been trying to set it up to replace a WAP371.

 

Problem is when I connect it to my weeks old 2960L I don't get a link light (using a PoE injector).

 

So far the only way I have been able to get it to connect is to set the eth0 speed to 100 on the WAP (which is unacceptable). I can connect it directly to my laptop at 1000 or auto and its fine, but no link when plugged into the switch on these settings.

 

Both the WAP and the switch are running the latest firmware.

 

I would open a support case but without a support contract I cant see a way to get support on these brand new cisco items short of returning them to the retailer. Am I missing something?

Looks like the WAP581 didnt like the cable that the WAP371 was working fine with. After swapping to different ones the issue resolved.
